Science Activity
Make Bubbles
Materials: dish soap, water, bucket or plastic container, whisk
Materials: dish soap, water, bucket or plastic container, whisk
An important part of children’s hand-washing is for them to rub their hands together until they see bubbles. Otherwise, the soap slips off and goes down the drain without cleaning their hands.
Pour some water into a bucket or other plastic container, add a squirt of dish soap, and grab a whisk.
Have your child use the whisk to stir up some bubbles! Ask questions such as, “What happens when you stir slowly? How about faster? What happens when you add a little more soap?” Let your child experiment and explore.
When it’s time to wash hands, remind your child of the activity. Challenge your child to make as many bubbles as possible with his or her hands!

Hacer burbujas
Materiales: jabón para lavar platos, agua, balde o recipiente de plástico, batidor
Materiales: jabón para lavar platos, agua, balde o recipiente de plástico, batidor
Una parte importante de lavarse las manos es que los niños se las froten hasta que vean burbujas. De lo contrario, el jabón se desliza y cae por el desagüe sin limpiarles las manos.
Echa un poco de agua en un cubo u otro recipiente de plástico, agrega jabón de fregar y toma un batidor.
¡Haz que tu hijo use el batidor para hacer algunas burbujas! Haz preguntas como: “¿Qué sucede cuando agitas lentamente? ¿Qué tal más rápido? ¿Qué sucede cuando echas un poco más de jabón?" Deja que tu hijo experimente y explore.

Cuando sea hora de lavarte las manos, recuérdale a tu hijo la actividad. ¡Reta a tu hijo a hacer tantas burbujas como sea posible con sus manos!
